ADELANTO • An Adelanto man was behind bars after deputies discovered that he had an outstanding warrant for burglary worth $100,000, according to a sheriff's new release.

Deputies learned of Melvin Jordan's warrant after authorities from the Victor Valley Sheriff's Station assisted Adelanto Code Enforcement Officials in marking Jordan's residence as uninhabitable, according to a sheriff's news release.

Upon arriving to the residence approximately 4:40 p.m. Thursday, Jordan fled, but was discovered back inside the residence later that night by Deputy Ryan Gutierrez and Deputy Malcolm Page.

Jordan was arrested without further incident and booked in the Victor Valley Jail.
